This story was a wash. A guy put a shit ton of money into a kickerstarter product and was expecting a fully fledged polished product. It's not a pre-order, buddy.

If Kickstarter is a license to take millions of dollars then deliver something different four years late, why does anyone ever contribute to Kickstarter projects?

Is it hard in this day in age to understand the difference of being part of bringing a product to life versus pre-ordering a product? Apple has set the bar so high that people turn off their brains.

"Being part of bringing a product to life" is usually something you're paid to do, not something you pay to do.
Compared to being an employee collecting a salary or an investor collecting a share of the profit, Kickstarter is a terrible deal.
Not a pre-order indeed. Not even a pre-order. Worse than a pre-order.
